A few months ago, I was contacted by the editor of HOTROD magazine, and asked if I'd like to submit some pics and a writeup about my Deora replica project.

Well of course I would, and did!

Now this is what I'd consider to be a surreal experience. And a very good motivator as well! ...Considering they want to feature it once it's completed.

I guess I'd better get away from this computer and back out to the garage!!

Yes, it is a tight deadline. But in reality, I've got little else to do in the evenings and weekends, so it should pan out.
Just sheetmetal fabrication to do now, and I can do that in my basement where it's relatively warm.

I got that issue a couple days ago & haven't even opened it yet...guess I'd better scope it out tonight. ;D
Congrats! :cheers:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
